nathell — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 21:00:14 +0000

I think the ideas worth pursuing still require substantial time and motivation, even with LLMs. Otherwise you just end up with a half-baked sloppy artifact that nobody will ever use or study, for a net negative benefit to humanity.

I guess HABIT was the expected one here.

Could I have the source code so I can plug in the Polish word list? It would make a great training app for Scrabble.

Nice! A couple weeks ago I made a handwritten REPL for the reMarkable 2 [0] – this could serve as a better base as it apparently sidesteps xochitl.

Ceterum censeo, anyone thinking to create an authoring system for IF should first read the Inform DM4 [0], preferably in its entirety but at the very minimum §24 of Chapter 3. It’s really enlightening to learn about how to model the world in a general yet simple way.

New comment by nathell in "Hacker News but for independent blogs"

nathell — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:26:33 +0000

I’ve been perusing Bubbles increasingly often since discovering that my blog is syndicated there, a few weeks ago.

It feels really refreshing compared to doomscrolling of social media, or indeed even to HN. It’s so diverse and humane. The indie blogosphere is coming to life.

Kudos to the author. A great idea, splendidly executed. I hope it grows and doesn’t change much.

nathell — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 08:37:57 +0000

LLMs might be part of why Ladybird is making this decision, but they aren’t the only possible one: SQLite, for example, has been developed this way pretty much forever. To each their own, I guess.

I have no idea who or what a Recurser is, but I guess I’ll be checking it out. :D

OP here. See [0] – for this post, I’ve moved from PNGs to SVGs and found an easier way to determine link coordinates, but otherwise the process is mostly the same.
